oh no, i meant ankle weights for the weigh in... rather than actually gain the weight

Thanks all! I think I'm going to opt for ankle weights and go through the hoops afterall

wow! Didn't think you could have it and not know it maybe the same will happen to me who knows!

I have my sleep study scheduled for 2 weeks but really don't think I have sleep apnea. If that doesn't work out i guess i'll be gaining some weight. We'll see. Thanks!

The problem is that I have to gain weight in order to meet my BMI before the 6 months can even begin. Otherwise I think giving myself time to wrap my head around the idea is good. Not sure how to pull that off.

Awesome, thanks!!

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing

One of the hoops is that because my bmi isn't high enough I would have to gain weight....

Good morning... wondering if anybody opted to do this without insurance? There are so many hoops to jump through that I am considering doing this without insurance. How much? Here or Mexico? Is it worth waiting for and jumping through the hoops or all the same to go out of pocket? Any cautionary tales or advise? Thanks guys!

Good luck!! We're rooting for ya

Great.. thanks. I read some very unhappy stories and it looks like people just don't post if they're happy, just if there's a problem so it looks very negative from what I read. Trying to get an idea for long term effects you know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just getting started on my research. Strongly considering getting sleeved. Anybody have access to long term success rates? I mean, 10 years, 20 years etc down the line.. how are people doing?
